Thirty-Seven

Crisis averted.

Gotta agree there! I really wish all non-repeatables would just be taken out of the store for you once they are purchased... period.

And that, is why you did it in the first place... much like Bill's example above with models and such.

For me, I play this game to get away from work, and chores, and daily tasks... so if something is unfun, I don't do it here. My argument isn't that NO work can be fun, just that work in a video game, is sorta contradictory to the goal.

Is that like being a patient? Or is that different?

I think it is clear that that is a special case. It is essentially like poetic inversion when being used in a slogan or the like.

In other cases? Well, I am sure not going to point out to someone in in-game chat that they have split an infinitive, or have a dangling preposition. But I will likely notice, especially that last one. I have grown to love the word "which," it allows me to fix so many sentences that are befouled by "that" and end in a "with" or "to."

Actually, a very similar issue is what got Power Customization (in part) held up in the past... figuring out how to get continuing effects that play on an enemy character (i.e. the actual graphics that appear on an enemy when a power effects them) to be colored properly. Obviously, that got squared away. As such, not sure just how hard or easy this would be (standard code rant, blah blah blah).

However, I really don't think those types of effects SHOULD be changeable. I mean, they all have a consistant look because they all come from the same source... like Kheldian powers.

I have to disagree... to a Super Hero, powers are everything.

I fail to see how that would make anything better.

I will NEVER use that abbreviation... I just hate it for some reason. I will, however, say "yer" to replace both "you're" and "your." I am unsure as to why I like that one, maybe because it is pronounced the same. To me, "ur" should be pronounced as "ür."

Fixed

I don't believe that is 100% accurate. IIRC, for any Crafting Badge with an odd number of crafts required, half need to be of each level, and the one that is left-over can be of EITHER level. So, in your example, 6 must be level 15 and 6 must be level 20, the 13th craft can be of 15 or 20. The thing is, crafting an additional item of the lower level is cheaper, and so most tables and such include the extra one on that side to simplify.

That sentence, is something up with which I will not put!

[Edit: I see that I was beaten to that punch back a few pages. ]

Yeppers, now we just need two more suggestion to round out the Pool.

Wyvern and Legacy Chain? Longbow?

And who would be the contacts for the missions associated with these pools? Ideally, they should be high profile heroes to mirror the Villain ones.

Also, there is a slight issue with using Vanguard as a Hero Patron Pool: Vanguarad is a co-op group and as such, should allow Villains to earn those powers as well.

You are unsure how to be clearer than that?

How about: "My billing cycle for each month begins on the 1st. Since it is now October 1st, I thought that I would recieve my allottment of 400 Paragon Points today as well as my Reward Token. I did not. Should I have recieved them today, or is something else going on? If I should have, can they be awarded to me?"

I will, however, freely admit that Paragon Studios has done a poor job in explaining to us how this system is supposed to work so that we know when it is broken and when it is working as intended.

No thank you, I will take my own advice and not do things in-game I wouldn't enjoy.

See how that works?

OMG that would've sucked... to lose all that time when you could have been farming or some other unpleasant activity instead.

Well, I guess I missed that bit. Of course, once folks get to ranting and arguments about just how sarcasm is or isn't noticed... I tend to move from reading posts, to skimming.

Also, I really think the Tailor option is BETTER than the store. You can just browse for all the great big orange lock symbols and only look at the pieces you don't have. Very obvious, rather efficient, and fast.

Yeah, this is about the place where I fail to be able to connect to your logic. This is a game. To me, if ANYTHING in it can be described as "work" and/or "hard work" then you are most assuredly doing something wrong. So, unsurprisingly, I don't really understand the issue. I have a few characters who are IO-ed... but it was done over a long period of time, and didn't require me to do any "work." It required some patience, and a bit of research, but I find that learning about the game is fun... so I didn't mind. Even marketing is vaguely entertaining.

So, I guess what I am trying to say, is that if you find something in this game unfun... don't do it! Much like the idea not to touch something that hurts.

FYI, technically you are not allowed to post on behalf of other folks.

Clarify that with support and see what happens.

If you ask me, this whole VIP Points thing was explained poorly to us, because there are a TON of questions about this process.
